Sarah Palin: Voice of the Republicans
The captivating and at times vaudevillian career of Sarah Palin entered an unpredictable phase yesterday when she stepped down as the Governor of Alaska to try to forge a role as the voice of the Republican Party.
Mrs Palin, who announced her shock resignation on July 3 with 18 months of her term left to run, has remained coy about her ambitions but the move has increased speculation that she wants to make a bid for the White House in 2012.
Such a scenario delights many Democrats, who believe that because Mrs Palin is a controversial figure whose performance as John McCain’s running-mate damaged the Republican ticket, a presidential campaign would probably end in disaster.
She re-enters national politics dogged by ethics inquiries, big legal bills and fresh polls showing that most Americans no longer see her in a positive light and harbour doubts about her governing skills.
She will begin holding events in the US with the majority of Republicans liking her — she has 70 per cent approval ratings inside her party, which is a good start for any candidate wanting to win a national Republican primary campaign. Mrs Palin handed the governorship of Alaska to her deputy, Sean Parnell, at a public picnic in Fairbanks, in the third such event that she has held in Alaskan cities in the past three days.

"Never underestimate the stupidity of the people or the power of the media..."
If Bush Jr could be P twice & Dan Quayle VP.....Sarah Palin can!!!
I wouldnt be surprised if she posed for Playboy though :)
Never underestimate the stupidity of the people or the power of the media.
Remember that George W was elected twice :)
Gyps - exactly!
Brit - this woman is so twisted it will take more than 3 years of moulding, Obama will eat her for lunch.

The Republicans need a new figurehead.. Palin has caught the imagination of the people. The rightists feel that she can be moulded into a presidential candidate in the next three years..
Sarah has attracted,will only lead to lower public approval for her and the party in any election...
Life is Beautiful...Indeed!
Great let her run. Just means Obama will get re-elected in 2012
Gad - true although I bet with some research we could find other countries that have elected grossly unqualified people to positions of power. As for US the last election (by McCain/Palin losing) demonstrated the limits of politics by fear and division, hopefully can continue to move in a better direction.

Only in the US of A can a person so lacking in knowledge in various spheres be even considered to contest an election to government office of the president no less...well hey,they did re-elect Bush so this shouldn't be too surprising now should it?...
This horrid woman will never be President, and the more she becomes a central figure in the Repugnican party the better for the rest of the US.
